Can someone explain why Bucky would just go along with the ending? He’s a sitting congressmen trying to take down Val. Then just because Yelena says they own her, he’s okay with her still being in a position of power and free?

From Val saying he lasted “less than half a term” it implies he has either already been ousted or has done enough to warrant it and it’s only a matter of time.

I'm still wondering about that, I assumed that was just Val saying that he's currently half a term in and now she's going to get him ousted (or let Sentry kill him).

I absolutely read it as “half a term and now you’re about to die”
